ATTRIBUTES: Variscite is a stone of encouragement. Bringing hope and courage, it is extremely useful for illness and invalids. It supports and encourages an invalid to continue despite the illness and helps caregivers to deal with the dis-ease and illness can create. Opening the heart chakra, it brings unconditional love into the situation.

Variscite is extremely helpful for past-life exploration. It facilitates visual images of the experience while going deeply into the feelings and experiences of appropriate lives. It stimulates insights into the cause of dis-ease or patterns that have been carried over, and aids reframing situations to bring about healing.

Psychologically, Variscite facilitates moving out of deep despair and into a position of hope and trust in the universe. This stone does away with pretense, enabling you to show yourself to the world exactly as you are. It calms nervousness and brings a peaceful heart. Variscite supports sobriety and yet has a lively energy that prevents you from becoming too serious. Placed under the pillow at night, it brings peaceful sleep and an untroubled mind.

Mentally, Variscite aids clear thinking and increases perception. It helps in self-expression and the communication of ideas.

Physically, Variscite is an energizer that helps to restore depleted energy reserves.

HEALING: Variscite heals the nervous system, treats abdominal distention and constricted blood flow, and regenerates elasticity of veins and skin. It neutralizes over acidity and aids gout, gastritis, ulcers, rheumatism, and allied conditions. Helpful for male impotence, it also relieves cramps.

POSITION: Place as appropriate and use for long periods of time. Position over third eye for past-life recall. Wear as a pendant or hold in the left hand.
